ok…..sighs….i stole some food…?
there was literally nothing else to eat and my sister was starving so i took some food from somewhere…..sorry?
"Well, what happens to thieves?"
depends on how bad the theft was and what category they fit under like treason, murder, petty larceny, etc. some punishments are death, some are exile, some are fines, some are prison. I probably fit under petty larceny.
"Well, what do you think we should do?"
I would say probably fine me without having to work it off through prison labor or whatever, that just feels like punishment on top of punishment or put me in prison for a while? Probably 3 days or so should do…
hands over a small piece of paper "Here's your ticket. Don't lose it. You'll need it to pick up your things when you get out."
thanks….oh and also i have no money, do i have to pay my fine beforehand or can i do it upon release?
"The fine needs to be paid upfront."
right….any other questions? no? alright then imma head to prison now
goodbye….Shadowth walks off to go to prison to start his sentence
Kersti goes back to her seat and rests her head on her hands, feeling somewhat sympathetic towards the young boy.
Kersti looks up from her seat and sees Shadowth enter the chamber.
hey umm….im here to grab my things….he gives his ticket
"Ah, hello. Yes, let me fetch your things for you."
ok…thank you very much…you dont remember my name, do you?
"No, I don't remember your name. But that's alright. I've met plenty of people today."
oh….alright….well its Shadowth
"Oh, Shadowth. That's an interesting name. Did you choose it yourself?"
nah it was just what my family gave me. Anyway, did you need anything?
"Actually, there is one thing..."
"I'm looking for someone to help me with something..."
leans closer, whispering "I need someone to infiltrate a rival gang for me."
wait….what?! Like- what why!?
"Because they have been causing trouble for our gang lately. And I want to make them pay. Are you up for the challenge, Shadowth?"
